I have been going to a private dentist for 3 years

Q. I have been going to a private dentist for 3 years now and i am always there having something done as she always tells me something needs doing and i trust her, she did let slip she is having a hard time financially and now i have begun to look at certain things, for example, she has done 4 fillings for me, 3 of which have needed to go to a route canals with in a year, now only 2 years on she is telling me i need to extract the two teeth that she done the route canal and crown on and have a false tooth implant, which costs a lot of money! My husband goes to her too, today he was told by her that the route canal and crown she done for him 10 months ago now needs to be extracted and false tooth put in place! I had a filing done 15 years ago that is fine and a route canal and so is the same for my husband! Something seems wrong here, all the work she has ever done on me and my husband has failed somehow, should I change dentists? or am i just unlucky?! Please help.

A. It sounds like you have lost confidence in this dentist. I recommend you go for a second opinion to put your mind at ease.

Kind regards
